It's the very first episode of Don’t Say That! oh my gosh, I'm scared. This episode is all about getting pretty real about the long, weird, exhausting AND wonderful road to figuring myself out as a neurodivergent and queer woman. From childhood sleepovers to an anxiety diagnosis, from high school survival mode to the acting and influencer world that practically rewards masking...this episode is reflecting back on the moments that led to discover who I am today.
We talk masking for survival, first experiences, people pleasing, and the moment it finally clicked...oh, that wasn’t “just anxiety,” that was me trying to function in a world that wasn’t built for my brain. COOL.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, too sensitive or like you’ve been performing a character for the majority of your life - this pod is for you my friend.
